Right now I’m sitting by my window, playing guitar. Ever since I admitted to myself that I loved Louis, I’ve literally never stopped thinking about him. And I sing about him every chance I get... I don’t know why, it just makes me feel better for some reason.

“Who is it?” Louis’ question startles me. How long has he been standing there? “What?” I ask, confused. “Who are you in love with? Who do you sing about? Who are you so fucking head over heels about?!” He raises his voice slightly, a pained expression being the only thing I can read on his perfect face.

“N-no one,” I stutter, turning away from him. I can’t keep doing this, at some point I’m going to snap. “Well then why do you keep bringing him up?! It’s Harry isn’t it?!” He sounds angry and I have no idea why. “What?! No!” I take my turn to raise my voice. “Who then? Niall?! Liam?! Zay- Oh my god it’s Zayn isn’t it?” His face pales. What?!

“No!” He ignores my protest. “That’s why you guys always sneak off and hang out! You love him! You guys are secretly dating, it makes so much sense now! Why didn’t you fucking tell me?!” He growls, running his fingers through his hair. What is he on about?

“No, it’s not Zayn, he’s my best friend. Why do you even care?!” I shout back, my patience running thin. “Because I do! I can’t believe you two wouldn’t just tell us!” His pained expression and sad eyes kill me. “I don’t love Zayn in that way, he’s just my friend!” I object.

“Then who is it?!” He’s full on screaming at me now. “You!” I blurt, immediately regretting it. “What?” His face pales again and his eyes widen. I frown and look at the ground, storming out of the room. I keep running, not looking back. I’m so embarrassed, I wish I could crawl into a hole and die.

“Hey Je- Woah, what’s wrong?!” Harry panics, grabbing my arm to stop me. “I-I told him,” I stutter, turning to face him. “Told who what?” He asks. Whoops I only told Zayn about my feelings for Louis... “I told Louis that I’m in love with him,” I sigh, stepping towards Harry and burying my face in his chest.

“You’re in love with Louis?” He seems shocked at first but slowly he begins to smile. “You know he’s crazy about you,” Harry whispers and my eyes widen. “What?” I bite my lip, looking up at Hazza. “Yep,” He nods, walking away. I stand there confused before someone clears their throat from behind me and I spin around.

“You never gave me a chance to respond,” He states, taking a step towards me. My breath hitches in my throat as he leans closer to me. “W-what is your response?” I stutter, biting my lip again. “I love you too,” He mumbles before closing the gap between our lips.
